The NOAA Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System (CBIBS) "smart buoys" collect and transmit real-time weather and water data. CBIBS supports the use and management of a healthy Chesapeake Bay by providing the data and information needed to improve safety, enhance the economy, and protect the environment.

The new NOAA Smart Buoys app works on tablets and smartphones and lets you use data from the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System (CBIBS) to create your own custom graphs. Now you can choose your buoy from a Google Maps setup, too. And the app gives you easy access to more information about each CBIBS buoy’s location.

Version 13 Includes bug fixes and performance enhancements.

As a captain on the Potomac, I use this app almost daily. Can't beat it for getting current conditions

Essential aid in knowing near real time what the winds around the ChesBay are doing.

The improvements to the core app are very nice but I sure do miss the widgets!

I use this app all the time. The 2014 upgrades are awesome, user friendly, and give a ton of information.

Great app, but it does not display properly in portrait layout on a nexus 7. The preferences menu cases the app to crash on the N7 as well.
